You'll learn how to use key deep learning algorithms without the need for complex math.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEver since computers began beating us at chess, they've been getting better at a wide range of human activities, from writing songs and generating news articles to helping doctors provide healthcare. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDeep learning is the source of many of these breakthroughs, and its remarkable ability to find patterns hiding in data has made it the fastest growing field in artificial intelligence (AI). Digital assistants on our phones use deep learning to understand and respond intelligently to voice commands; automotive systems use it to safely navigate road hazards; online platforms use it to deliver personalized suggestions for movies and books - the possibilities are endless. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eDeep Learning: A Visual Approach\u003c\/i\u003e is for anyone who wants to understand this fascinating field in depth, but without any of the advanced math and programming usually required to grasp its internals. If you want to know how these tools work, and use them yourself, the answers are all within these pages. And, if you're ready to write your own programs, there are also plenty of supplemental Python notebooks in the accompanying Github repository to get you going. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe book's conversational style, extensive color illustrations, illuminating analogies, and real-world examples expertly explain the key concepts in deep learning, including: \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cb\u003e-\u003c\/b\u003e How text generators create novel stories and articles\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e-\u003c\/b\u003e How deep learning systems learn to play and win at human games\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e-\u003c\/b\u003e How image classification systems identify objects or people in a photo\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e-\u003c\/b\u003e How to think about probabilities in a way that's useful to everyday life\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e-\u003c\/b\u003e How to use the machine learning techniques that form the core of modern AI \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIntellectual adventurers of all kinds can use the powerful ideas covered in \u003ci\u003eDeep Learning: A Visual Approach\u003c\/i\u003e to build intelligent systems that help us better understand the world and everyone who lives in it.
